Ciana picked up a cable, the thing was already connected to my chest.
The discussion of then was intense, but somehow, Ciana managed to win the old man curiosity.
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." He said just before pushing a lever, a blue light coverred the machine in front of him "Ciana, get ready for the worst"
She nodded, now looked like determined by her own curiosity and not pity.
With a lot of effort, connected the large cable in the blue machine.
[003/100]
The strange screen appered in front of me again.
"Is it like a percentage" I toght, my tears had stopped a long time ago.
Now, now I just felt empty. Didn't even react to the pain of the cable connected beforehand.
[027/100]
"Dammit!" I heard inside my head, I remenbered clearly. Yulia voice.
Ciana pushed another lever, now the energy comming to me was more intense.
This time, I almost flinched, but in fear of troubling the two helping me. Stayed still.
"Is this allright?" Ciana asked worried.
The old man just nodded and pushed all the remaining levers.
My body jumped, it was an automatic response.
The same way when one jumps when surprised or in pain.
[071/100]
The light stopped glowing and Ciana approached. I was on the ground and could feel my arms.
"I'm sorry…" I said unable to control myself "I, I didn't want to cause anyone any problems, I'm sorry…I'm sorry."
I had no control over what came out of my month, I just wanted to scream because of the pain. But I just said something I hated to say.
In a way, even hating to say these things. it made me feel lighter.
Ciana looked shoked, apparently, I shouldn't have talked.
"I'm sorry for..." I started saying without realizing.
Ciana approched me once again, hers steeps without an inch of doupt in them.
In her knees, she lifted up my body and hugged me.
Again. I started crying. My vision was blury, still, i could see the old man readming something in the machine.
"It's allright, little puppet, is allright" Ciana said slowly.
I hugged her, it was so natural that it scared me. I was just scary to truly see how much pain I realy was in.
"Let the tears flow, its good for the soul" It was like she was hugging a little child, still, I wasn't sure if I was or wasn't a kid anymore.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They allowed me to stay inside the crafting area.
It was already late when I let go of Ciana, we talked about a lot of thing afterward.
THey didn't want to give much information, but I gave then all that I could.
Said what I was sure about and about things I wasn't sure about.
I nedded to stay connected to the big machine, they covered it up and told me that they would explain more to me in the morning.
"The night is where I woke up" Yulia said, she said nonchalant thinking I wouldn't know where she said that before "AuTor, kid, are you sure that they are trustworth?"
I was takken back, that was the first thing that she talked about in a lot of time.
"AuTor, I know its hard because they helped you and all" She said in her non carrying voice "They are realy suspicious"
I knew what she was talking about, they could have explained everything to me.
But, even if they could, they did not. Those two basicly locked me up and ran away.
"Yulia, i want to trust then" I said just by imaginf opening my month. Just like before, it was hard to control what I said and what i didn't say.
"You do you, but remenber... you got knocked out and I was also" She was basicly saying that I was responsible for her life since I controled the body.
"Yes, but I don't wish to be alone" The words just left my month "I am confused, sorry..."
"No, don't apolagize, you are in the right, take an stand to yourself and be selffish time to time"
She didn't have bad intensions, she was just like that.
Made to be obssed with close deaths encounstes and control.
It realy was surprinsing to see that she gave up so soon. Didn't even think of taking over the body anymore.
"AuTor, could you please look at that machine?" She said slowly.
"So that was what she wanted" I thinked to myself.
I was probaly being manipulate, but, even in that case I still wanted to see what the man saw.
With a lot of effort, crawling in the ground as determined as ever, i reached a chair.
Got up i the chair and prepared to take the cloth off the machine.
3... 2... 1... GO!
There I saw a tiny stone, almost instinctively. I toched it.
"My god" I toght seeing all that.
